Dreaming Up a New Reality

Posted on October 29, 2010 by CarolWiebe

Listening for the promptings of spirit, and seeking to follow them, has been my way of life for decades. In fact, I have clear memories of experiencing a sense of “the Other” as a young child. Therefore, my attention was … Continue reading →

Posted on October 17, 2010 by CarolWiebe

I have gone again and again to this post about feathers, on Art Propelled. Robyn Gordon has such a magnificent eye, from my perspective. I am in love with how she chooses a theme, then finds different artists’ works to … Continue reading →

Art As a Playground

Posted on October 7, 2010 by CarolWiebe

You won’t get very far into Mary Ann Wakeley’s blog before you become quite clear about why she calls it A Creative Life. Art is what saved her from continuing down a former path of working at meaningless and unfulfilling jobs (see … Continue reading →

Sacred Expressive Arts
